Be careful when you have the heavier wheels and tires on your car and you need to pass someone on a two lane road... I always make sure I have plenty of room by accelerating before I pull out of my lane to pass... I found out that I needed to back off even more than I normally follow at in order to gain more speed than I would need with the lighter wheels/tires...

General driving tip. I think both my wheels are about the same weight, the konig i have are 32lbs. im sure the stock civic ones are around the same if not lighter.

Test fitted my Mugen lip.
Still lots of prep work/repairs before it gets sprayed though.

NICE! The mugen lip looks so much better on the JDM front then it does on the USDM front. No offence to you guys with the Mugen lip on USDM cars :P

Thanks! It's pretty much impossible finding any kind of lip for jazz's in the UK. I was lucky enough to stumble on this on ebay.

Hey how are you doing mike?
Yeah i love wedsport!
but actually my first choice was volks, but they are just way to expensive for me, i'am just an average worker here in Japan, that doesn't even know how to speak japanese lol, (i can understand a little, but still learning). so i dropped my first choice haha. and then i saw the weds!

When i came to pick the weds, and when I saw the wheels installed... It was just,...... amazing.... lol

Cheers man! be safe!

You can't go wrong with either, and personally I think Weds look better in Fit sizing. I always dreamed of owning TE37's and once I got my set (16x7 +42) I grew to hate them, they're just not nice looking wheels in non-concave sizing.

Soasin - I love those rims on your Fit - your car is looking awesome!

We had to do this last night...




Pretty sad! Seibon agreed to refund me the cost of the CF lip if I would destroy it and send them pictures. My cousin used a hacksaw and that cut the lip up like butter! Ouch! I really wish the lip had worked out because it looked great on the car. Once my money is refunded may think about replacing the wing with something different. This is the only time since I got my Fit that I have had any problems with parts not working. Hope everyone has a great day!

Hi there Cat! nice to meet you
Thank you for all the compliments!

Hmmm why was your lip not working? what's the problem?
I would love to have lips like those!

Cheers!
